VOL. 1.
PIERZ, MORRISON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, JANUARY 6, 1910.
NO. 29
A LETTER FROM
CONGESSMAN
LINDBERGH
I may not be excused fur
Writittg occasional letters to
the Press on matters arising In
in Congress in which the district is interested, for it is not
customary for public officials
to do so. But whatever may
be the custom I shall feel justified if 1 can make these letters
instructive. First, J shall con-
fin.' myself to defining some ex-
isting conditions; subsequently
I shall attempt to show why
these conditions exist.
Addressng myself to the
Sixth District does not mean
that my comments are confined
to matters in which that district
alone is interested, for one will
rind by consulting the conditions
there and comparing them with
conditions in other districts,
that the common interests of
all, on material matters, are
the Same, and that all may and
should act in concert for the
genera] welfare. No district is
in better position to appreciate
that than the sixth; for in tbe
variety of industrial, commercial and social interests it is
not surpassed in half dozen of
the I'.'.H districts in the United
States, and in the average in
telligence of its people-, it is
probably not excelled. It has
nearly 80 newspap'.-rs: numerous factories, producing many
of th isities of life, and,
what is best of all, a rich farming country that is supportine*
on farms of diversified production more' than 60 per cent of
the district's1 population. None
of its towns showed at the last
Census a population of 10.000
people, but more than -10 have
a population 6f from 500 tei
nearly 10,000. Witn a superb
climate, and with lakes, rivers
and forests in great abundance.
it furnishes interesting' diversions to its people and to many
others who come there' annually from other parts of the country to camp, hunt, fiish and become invigorated front its pure
and bracing air. Such conditions are ice il for an intelligent
development and Influence.
There is a broad field for improvement In the character of
the official work that is being
done at our Capita] City. 1 be
lieve that progress will be a-
chieved sooner by the people controlling their representatives in Congress than by leaving it entirely to the initiative
of the representatives; for unless the people assume more active control, experience shows,
the Selfish interests will do so,
and for selfish purposes. It is
here again a question of where'
■ he greatest activity shall come
from, whether from the people
or from the Hellish interests,
ln the past, it has been from
the side of the latter, and no
doubt these interests propose
to continue thus. 15ut the people hold tin- power of veto in e-
lections, which they may
ploy ultimately to defeat the
Selfish. The secret of public
success is to know how to vote.
The secret of Selfish success is
to prevent intelligent voting. I
do not attempt to indicate how
one should vote; that must be
srmihed by every voter individually. And when the voter,
guided by his own intelligence,
casts Ids vote without prejudice,
most of our difficulties from a
governmental view point will
be simplified. The purpose
here- is merely to relate some-of
the conditions now obtaining
and the- happenings which have
transpired, for the study and
thought of the reader.

tone, is In a large measure, separated from the people by or

ANNUAL MEETING OF
STATE AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY
The program and premium
list for the 1910 annual meeting
of the State Agricultural So
ty, which convenes at the New
Capitol January 11, 12, 13 and
at the Agricultaral College on
the 14, has been sent out. The
meetings are open to tie public
as well as the delegates and
will be very helpful and instructive to those who are interested in Agriculture.
The management desires to
secure a substantial increase
in the seed exhibit this year
and the farmers of every county and township if possible are
urged to send something.
The booklets which have
been sent out give, in addition
to the program and premium
list, explicit rules governing
entries and exhibits.

FAMOUS
SHORTHORN HERD
The bic-f/est sale of line
bred cattle occurring in the
history of the state was consummated today when Arch-
idald S, White ef New York
and Leslie Smi'h of St. Cloud
purchased of N. P Clarke
his entire herd of full blood
Shorthorns, known the world
over as the Meadow Lawn
herd. This is undoubtedly
the best bred herd in thi*
country tod tv. It is the culmination of 35 years of effort
and skill in the successful
mating of the best strains of
Shorthorns. This has onlv
been accomplished by a vast
expenditure of money, and
the world has been searched
for the best animals ol this
blood. No American herd
h ts won so manv grand prizes
as has th.t of Meadow Lawn.
This farm has heen represented in all the big contests
and exhibits for a third of a
century, and has carried off
the highest honors in all thene
years. No other breeder in
the world has been the victor
of so many big contests as
has Mr. Clarke. It was largely in r> cognition ot the Clarke
catlte that the National exhibit was brought to the Minnesota state 1 tir, and their sale
and removal from the state
is not only a grfat loss to St.
Cloud, but to Minnesota and
the whole nort liwe&t.
It is, however, a matter of
satisfaction that ihey will be
continued as a. herd intact,
ai d will not be scattered i_-
mong different breeders
they represent the best in
their line, and their progeny
should be the winner** of future grand championships.
Tne famous herd will be
taken to Mr- White's big
farm near Cincinnati. Mr
•smith has been in c arg« 0.
this hrrd for the past 15
years and is recognized by experts to be the foremost man
in the country as a successful
breeder and handler of stock.
He will continue in charge oi
the herd, and Mr. White is to
be congratulated on securin ■
his partnership in this deal.
The amount of the purchase
price is not given to the public, but it was a 1< ng price—
and undoubtedly the largest
sum of mt>n y ever paid for a
single herd in this count* v.
Among the animals purchased is Dorothea II., the
champion Shorthorn cow oi
the world, whicli carried oil'
the grand championship at
the late Internat onal exhibit
at Chicago, as well as at the
American Rota! slock show
at Kansas City. Another is
Ringmaster, the best yearling
show bull in America, and
who lias won nuire triumphs
than anv other animal of his
age. The herd consists c>i
3b femaUs and six bulls.

FAMOUS
SHORTHORN HERD
The bic-f/est sale of line
bred cattle occurring in the
history of the state was consummated today when Arch-
idald S, White ef New York
and Leslie Smi'h of St. Cloud
purchased of N. P Clarke
his entire herd of full blood
Shorthorns, known the world
over as the Meadow Lawn
herd. This is undoubtedly
the best bred herd in thi*
country tod tv. It is the culmination of 35 years of effort
and skill in the successful
mating of the best strains of
Shorthorns. This has onlv
been accomplished by a vast
expenditure of money, and
the world has been searched
for the best animals ol this
blood. No American herd
h ts won so manv grand prizes
as has th.t of Meadow Lawn.
This farm has heen represented in all the big contests
and exhibits for a third of a
century, and has carried off
the highest honors in all thene
years. No other breeder in
the world has been the victor
of so many big contests as
has Mr. Clarke. It was largely in r> cognition ot the Clarke
catlte that the National exhibit was brought to the Minnesota state 1 tir, and their sale
and removal from the state
is not only a grfat loss to St.
Cloud, but to Minnesota and
the whole nort liwe&t.
It is, however, a matter of
satisfaction that ihey will be
continued as a. herd intact,
ai d will not be scattered i_-
mong different breeders
they represent the best in
their line, and their progeny
should be the winner** of future grand championships.
Tne famous herd will be
taken to Mr- White's big
farm near Cincinnati. Mr
•smith has been in c arg« 0.
this hrrd for the past 15
years and is recognized by experts to be the foremost man
in the country as a successful
breeder and handler of stock.
He will continue in charge oi
the herd, and Mr. White is to
be congratulated on securin ■
his partnership in this deal.
The amount of the purchase
price is not given to the public, but it was a 1< ng price—
and undoubtedly the largest
sum of mt>n y ever paid for a
single herd in this count* v.
Among the animals purchased is Dorothea II., the
champion Shorthorn cow oi
the world, whicli carried oil'
the grand championship at
the late Internat onal exhibit
at Chicago, as well as at the
American Rota! slock show
at Kansas City. Another is
Ringmaster, the best yearling
show bull in America, and
who lias won nuire triumphs
than anv other animal of his
age. The herd consists c>i
3b femaUs and six bulls.
The new owners ha e taken
■ ssion of the cattle, but
thev will not be sent to Ohio
for couple ot months.—Journal Press.
